More than 500 containers stranded between Lete and Korala

MUSTANG: More than 500 containers have been stranded at various points along the road between Lete and Korala in Mustang for the past week.

The containers have been stuck since the road was blocked by floods, landslides and snowfall following heavy rainfall on September 24 and 25. Road repair work is underway at several locations in Myagdi, including Pokharebagar, Kunote and Baisari, which were affected by the heavy rains.

Technicians involved in the road project said it could take another week for the road to fully reopen.

As the road remains blocked, more than 70 containers and over 100 electric vehicles have been stranded at the bus park in Jomsom.
